103° has tied the highest temp ever recorded at WFO Mount Holly, going back to 1993. The previous highest temp at our office was 103° back on July 7, 2010.

This corrects a previous post.

UN Ambassador Matt Whitaker: "People are enjoying the United States of America because it's an awesome place. We have extraordinary things like Buc-ee's and Chick-fil-A, very convenient to eat in your car while you're having a phone call. It's an amazing country."

Starbucks (H Street)

Rating: 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Stumbled into Starbucks and noticed the cashier communicating with a coworker in sign language. Quickly realized everyone else was too

Turns out I’d walked into Starbucks’ Signing Store, where every employee is fluent in ASL. I placed my order by writing it on a tablet

This concept is incredible and there needs to be more of these across the country. One of the coolest places I’ve been to in DC

Watch out for your pet’s paws during the extreme heat! Temperatures on asphalt or concrete can get towards 130 degrees. A 60 second walk can blister their paw pads. Plan your walks for when it cools down…. or find them dog Jelly shoes from the 80s and 90s like Goose is wearing!

President Trump reaped at least $2.2 billion from his family’s holdings last year, a new filing shows.

update on Bucks County freight train derailment

[Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick 🇺🇸 @RepBrianFitz]

My office is working directly with local officials and first responders, as well as the Department of Transportation, following the freight train derailment in Bensalem near Street Road and the Neshaminy Falls Train Station.

This was a freight derailment and did not occur on commuter rail lines.

Local officials have reported several cars involved, which may contain hazardous materials. At this time, no injuries have been reported. We will not have further confirmed information until the Hazmat Team is on scene and able to assess the rail cars.

A one-mile shelter-in-place order is currently in effect. Anyone within that area should remain indoors, bring pets and other animals inside, close windows, doors, and vents, and turn off heating and air conditioning systems until further notice.

Those outside the shelter-in-place area should avoid the scene, keep surrounding roads clear, and allow police, fire, EMS, and Hazmat personnel to respond safely.

We will remain closely engaged with federal and local officials and will continue to provide updates as the situation develops and more information becomes available.

We are incredibly grateful for every first responder and emergency personnel on the scene, and we ask you to join us in praying for their safety.
